Q: What is the Great West Truck Show?
A: The Great West Truck Show is the only major Truck Show held annually in the western United States. The show was formally known as the Truck Show Las Vegas. The name has been changed to the Great West Truck Show for 2008 and beyond to reflect the increased reach and scope of the event.
When Randall-Reilly Publishing, LLC purchased the Truck Show Las Vegas in February 2007, the California Trucking Association made the decision to become the premiere sponsor of the event. This means The Great West Truck Show will again be the only major trucking event to be held in the Western US on an annual basis.
The Great West Truck Show 2008 marks the beginning of something bigger and better to come. We're re-tooling, re-vamping and expanding the show to the take it to the next level.
